Bonnie Wright has urged the new 'Harry Potter' stars to "enjoy every minute of it"
The 34-year-old star - who played Ginny Weasley in the original film franchise - has opened up on the advice she'd give to the next actress to take on the role in HBO's upcoming seven-season reboot of J.K. Rowling's book series
7 May 2025
She told PEOPLE magazine: "I think every actor stepping into all the roles, I hope, really go from the book and they take their interpretation of the characters from the book as the original source of material.
"And I just hope that they do what they wanna do and they make their character who they envision Ginny to be.
"And I think that's what's cool, that other people can give her character and all the others new life.
"So I don't think I would... I guess the only thing I would say is like, be present in the moment. Enjoy every minute of it, would be the only thing I would say."
Bonnie - who was nine years old when she first played Ginny in 2001 movie 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' - urged the showrunners to take a similar approach, and not allow themselves to get weighed down by the expectations fans have for the reboot.
She added: "I feel like in the world, we'll get very serious about different things, and I think sometimes it's just being like, 'We are so lucky to be sat here creating these incredible stories that people love'.
"And just to be excited and proud of the work that you do, rather than worrying too much about what people think, and how it's gonna be received."
It's not yet known who will play the likes of Harry, Ron and Hermione - portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson - in the upcoming series.
However, HBO has confirmed some casting, with Nick Frost playing Rubeus Hagrid, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore.
Meanwhile, Luke Thallon and Paul Whitehouse have joined in recurring roles as Quirinus Quirrell and Argus Filch respectively.
